T-Shirt Designs That Sell - The Circle Technique - Easy Design for Beginners in Affinity Designer

[@theinspiredtrail]

There are so many tutorials for t-shirt designs on YT but yours are by far the most helpful and informative. I learn something valuable every time. Thank you!

[@DetourShirts]

Wow, thank you! I'm so glad they are helpful

[@Drathaar01]

With the bike tires and the circle you drew, it looked like a happy face :)

[@DetourShirts]

I thought the same thing

[@pigipanospickacard]

I'll use it on a book niche - btw you're a lifesaver with the text baseline tip!

[@DetourShirts]

Yeah... that baseline stuff comes in handy

[@shirleykathan-sayess5764]

I was trying to figure out how to do this yesterday! THANK YOU! ❤ Shirley

[@DetourShirts]

You are so welcome.... sounds like it helped out

[@musicteacherengel]

Thank you for showing the various variations of the circle technique. I definitely fall into a rut with the technique that you demonstrated, but this is a good reminder that other minor variations are available. Best wishes!

[@DetourShirts]

Glad it was helpful!

[@GoWestYoungK9]

Cool! Good idea to make a template for the circular design. I always have to look up how to fix the bottom words :-) . So now I have it saved as a template. Made a "dog hiking is my therapy" design and am uploading it tonight! Thanks, Juna 🙂

[@DetourShirts]

Nicely done... keep that template for more designs

[@justcallmeneb8025]

Definitely going to use this technique for my summer designs like bbq and holidays!

[@DetourShirts]

Yes it's perfect for that.

[@furioinc6425]

Keep those ideas coming Juna ;) Love it!!!

[@DetourShirts]

Thank you! Will do!

[@stephaniemodkins4624]

Great video. The circle design is one of my favorites.

[@DetourShirts]

Mine too! Very easy and I use it a lot

[@ScottPoindexter-n1p]

Hi. Really appreciate your video and hopefully someday I will be able to use it without hiccups as I'm having a lot of trouble figuring things out. I can tell you assume I should know how to use the Affinity software better than a true beginner 🤣....... I just bought the software so I'm a beginner so much a beginner I have no idea half the time how you are doing things. Note I would change the second part of the title of this video to -Easy Design for those with BASIC Affinity Designer knowledge/skills. and or update the video with many more step by baby step directions. Again thank you much for the video it's helping for sure yet very confusing and challenging taking a lot of time. PS I already see other videos of yours I will be watching!

[@DetourShirts]

Thanks for the feedback! I'm always trying to improve my videos. I will try to make it more beginner friendly

[@Foggymorning1907]

Your videos are always so informative. I'm not interesting in POD and tend to stear more towards tumblers than shirts but I have still learned so much from you

[@DetourShirts]

Glad you like them! Thanks for your comment

[@alicelong100]

Hi Juna! Great info forAfinity Designers…

[@DetourShirts]

Glad it was helpful! I haven't done an Affinity Designer video in a while

[@tonytone466]

Great work; for the question of the day, I will be doing a boxing design, cheers

[@DetourShirts]

That sounds fun... hope you get a ton of sales with it

[@rodneykittle4620]

Thank you. Yes, very helpful.

[@DetourShirts]

Glad to hear it!

[@sleeplessinthecarolinas8118]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@DetourShirts]

My pleasure! Hope it was helpful.

[@cxa011500]

Great design demonstration.👌🏾

[@DetourShirts]

Thank you!

[@hammypie]

I’m not an artist but I have a decent eye for design. But i only have Inkscape for basic things right now like manipulating SVG files and text. Do u recommend getting and learning AD over Ai for simple designs like these for POD?

[@DetourShirts]

Both apps are great... it really depends on how much you want to spend... Affinity Designer is like $50 total.... Adobe Illustrator is like $10-$20 a month forever.

[@skylineacademy.speakenglis9828]

will u please make on illustrator trendy t shirt design

[@DetourShirts]

I don't have Illustrator... when I get it I'll make a video

[@wafizimamul4748]

Hey Juna, thanks for the tutorial design you shared there is a question that always comes to my mind, how to find interesting words in t-shirt designs?? Thanks, have a great day !

[@DetourShirts]

Good question! You will have to do your research... see what is selling and brainstorm on ideas on what people are buying.

[@wafizimamul4748]

@@DetourShirts Thanks Juna

[@justynaj2905]

Which print on demand yu recommended ?

[@DetourShirts]

Merch by Amazon by far...if you can get on... after that.... TeePublic or RedBubble

[@2mycup]

How can I save it as a template in Canva. When I save something in Canva and upload it becomes uneditable. Should I just create it and leave it in the Canva creating space and just hit the copy page icon So I can use it for several designs?

[@DetourShirts]

You would have to create your own template on Canva don't upload a Affinity Designer template into Canva

[@otaku9695]

Can you make a video about your youtube earnings, that would be lovely

[@DetourShirts]

Honestly... It's not that great right now.... it's mainly adsense with a sprinkle of affiliate sales

[@tbd5082]

I really like you!

[@DetourShirts]

I appreciate that!

[@abdoudrzr2722]

The word Therapy is trademark

[@DetourShirts]

Hmmmm..... strange right?

[@abdoudrzr2722]

I've got a rejection because of it

[@laurac.9322]

Would spelling it different work as a work around?

[@hammypie]

So u can’t even use it in a phrase that’s not trademarked?

[@stephenschildbach940]

12 Zodiac signs. Thank you for reminding me of the successful design motif for t-shirts.

[@DetourShirts]

You are so welcome!

[@laurac.9322]

I did a pop out kitty

[@laurac.9322]

I am going to do cats are my therappe.

[@DetourShirts]

Cats are great... lots of people love cats

[@miguelstephane]

did you sell this t-shirt ? if yes how much did you gain?

[@DetourShirts]

I didn't sell it yet... I just made it yesterday and I haven't put it up for sale yet.... If I did sell it on Amazon I would get about $5 a sale.

[@ScottPoindexter-n1p]

How did you even switch from inches to pixels? :( stuck from the start. Bummer. Video is not for beginners using Affinity LOL. No way I could keep up with you as I have just got got Affinity. How where do learn all the stuff you expect someone to know to be able to follow and do what you did here? Thank You

[@DetourShirts]

Sorry about that. You pick pixels at the beginning when you create a new document. There will be a dropdown that says document units (bottom center). Set it to pixels. If you already have a document open you can change it to pixels by going to File / Document Setup to change the Document Units to Pixels.

[@ScottPoindexter-n1p]

@@DetourShirts thank you so much for your response OK cool I am going back to watch the video again.

[@Scott-wf2wp]

thank you, your videos are really great.
